Ofori-Atta Saga: Amidu Warns OSP, Citing Justice Abban's Case
Colaboradores
Former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu has entered the ongoing disagreement between ex-Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta and the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP). Amidu used a past event involving a former Chief Justice to advise the current OSP leadership.
Amidu made a historical comparison, mentioning Chief Justice I.K. Abban's supposed disrespect towards Justice G.E.K. Aikins when Aikins had prostate cancer. Amidu suggests this is a lesson about using power without thinking carefully.
"Let Kissi Agyebeng be told," Amidu stated, "that former Chief Justice I. K. Abban made light of Mr Justice G. E. K. Aikins’ prostate cancer... Justice Abban also developed prostate cancer and died..." He highlights the consequences that followed Abban's alleged actions.
The OSP's Stance on Ofori-Atta's Health
The OSP claimed on June 2nd that Ofori-Atta didn't provide medical papers to justify his absence from their office. Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng accused Ofori-Atta of acting dishonestly and stated the office was losing patience.
Frank Davies, Ofori-Atta's lead lawyer, denies these claims. He stated in a media interview that the medical report was properly submitted to the OSP as part of court documents on May 27, 2025.
